I think that this is a wonderful opportunity for an "under-dog" such as Firefox to get some exploitation in the Internet world. As with any new competitor that comes along, people are giving it a shot just for curiousity's sake. I believe that Mozilla Firefox willk indeed put a dent into IE, but it's too early to tell at the moment.. While Firefox has less security vulnerabilities, the browser still needs some revamping. (it could be a little bit more appealing with some extra gadgets). Because Microsoft has monopolized the software industry, people want to try something new. It's like your classic switch from cable to the dish network. For those who haven't yet mad the switch to Firefox, they probably never will because they like to keep what they are accustomed to using. Overall, I think Firefox will grab it's fair share of the market because people want variety.
